Nikon D800 Commercial…the scoop!

The upcoming Nikon D800 camera release has been anticipated for over a year now. All of us Nikon DSLR owners have been drooling at the possibilities. However Nikon has kept it tightly under wraps and top secret.

The specs are still just speculation, however I did recently find out something interesting. On the Dec 19 2011 edition of MotoPodcast.com there is an interview with Mark Miller, who is a professional bike racer. He was hired a little  while ago to be the motocycle driver in the new Nikon D800 commercial. Apparently he was on an amazing 1000cc BMW bike and the set was downtown Chicago.  Nikon Actually shut down some actual Chicago streets from 9pm to 6am for 6 nights in a row. Then they had Mark riding like crazy at up to 130mph on the actual streets of Chicago…with no hay bales etc. They had a bike following him which was custom outfitted with several D800′s as well as other placed along the route. There is no word on when this commercial will be released but it should be very soon.

So the one thing we now know for sure is that the D800 will feature a new leap in technology for shooting HD video.

Now I am drooling even more!

Here is a link to the MotoPodcast it is mentioned in:

Family Portrait- The Burgess Family

Tonight in the studio I had a very fun family in for a family portrait. It was a great session and fairly quick thanks to two very well behaved boys.

Here is a sneak peak from this session.     We still have room for a few more sessions which will result in prints being ready before Christmas, however time is running out.  Book now!

Portrait of past president Air Force Association of Canada 428 Wing Peterborough

Today I had the honour of taking the portrait of Bill Steedman.  He is the past president of our local Air Force Association and needed a portrait which will hang on the wall of the Peterborough wing of the RCAFA.  Mr. Steedman represented our fine country while peacekeeping in the Golan Heights.

Thank you Mr. Steedman for serving our country with dignity and helping to keep the world a safer place.

Mr. Steedman
